Movies that should be turned into TV shows

4:27 pm By Lawrence

Movies and TV shows have seemingly always been an evolutionary creative medium but lately it seems it’s becoming more of a symbiotic one. Is this a good thing? I think that it is and that shows like Fargo and Hannibal prove that this is a very good idea for creating interesting and original ideas based off of original source material. So, what series do I feel could be the next Hannibal or Fargo or Buffy in terms of being the next big movie to TV adaptations? Read on and find out.

Harold and Kumar: The Animated Series:

Harold and Kumar would be an awesomely, immature animated series and Adult Swim or HBO would be the perfect venue for it. I think it could be like South Park or It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia but with the odd Pendleton Ward style of Adventure Time.

Let’s face it, between Neil Patrick Harris seeing a unicorn while taking magic mushrooms and more, Harold and Kumar left the realm of plausibility a long time ago. Plus, given that Harold and Kumar movies feel few and far between in terms release dates, it would keep my Harold and Kumar munchies in check (weed puns yay).

All in all, it would be the best thing to happen to Harold and Kumar AND Adult’s Swim since they started airing Rick and Morty (since god knows next to that there’s barely anything else worth watching on Adult’s Swim). Plus, it could also usher in an awesome trippy cartoon universe of whacky heroes like Tenacious D, Cheech and Chong, Bill and Ted and many more with massive crossover potential.

Dirty Harry: the TV series

Due to the success of The Americans, this would be a great choice for another period piece action drama. It can also be fairly open ended in terms of its longevity starting as a gritty 1970’s style period piece cop show and going all the way through the 1980’s (and maybe even beyond).

Each season could have a main overarching scumbag that taunts Harry and makes him question himself morally and ethically. Think of the show as a 1970’s era Justified, set in San Francisco with Harry, like Raylan being a cowboy gunslinger in a bureaucratic world.

Similar to The Americans, the Dirty Harry TV show could handle real world historic issues going on in the fictional universe. These events could maybe include; Harry investigating the murder or Harvey Milk or something dealing with the Watergate scandal going on in the background during some episodes. It’d also be super engrossing if they were able to use music from the 1970’s and 1980’s as perfectly as The Americans has.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang: The Series

If it can somehow ignore the very ending, which kind of makes it sequel or continuation proof I think that if any movie could be an awesome TV show it would be Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. It’s a simple, low budget but exceptionally written, directed and acted semi hidden gem of recent comedies. I think that much like the film that writing and casting the perfect duo would be key for this film. The two actors need to charismatically play humorous disdain for each other while playing polar opposites.

It also needs a witty writer, who understands the shallow nature of Hollywood, while writing exceptional action, comedy and profanity. As far as casting goes Aaron Eckhart could be a great straight man as “Gay” Perry Van Shirke, given that he’s usually great as straight arrow hero type.

Collin Farrell, would be a perfect Harry Lockhart, given his Robert Downey Jresque bad boy image and massively sarcastic characters he usually plays. All in all, it would be a great show for a network like FX or HBO who are great at doing cop shows and dark comedies or Showtime, because I think Showtime is great at making hit shows inexpensively.

Also, while I shamefully haven’t seen much of it, I feel that the dynamic duo of Downey and Kilmer seem to have a similar black comedy banter that Logue and Raymond-James excelled at in Terriers. I think that a buddy cop comedy bringing back that sense of humor and comradery would be great and something I feel TV is sorely missing.

A Nightmare on Elm Street:

Let me start by saying that A Nightmare on Elm Street is one film series I’m a major geek for, so I’ll admit I do have a slight bias here. However, A Nightmare on Elm Street still remains one of the best examples of not JUST horror, but urban fantasy as well.

Also, given that the recent remake REALLY botched up the mythos of the Elm Street franchise by ignoring the creative dynamite that the writers had with Freddy Krueger. Instead the reboot chose to just make a generic cookie cutter remake of the original. a show would really help to remedy this massive mistake.

How couldn’t they make an evil child killer with near omnipotent powers terrifying? Also, the mythos of The Dream Warriors and Dream Master could be great building blocks for not only making a horror series but a fantasy action one at the same time.

A Network like HBO or FX that’s not afraid of making ballsy shows but letting their writers have more control would be an IDEAL network for something like this show. A perfect pilot or first two episodes should be a True Detective style dark origin story for Freddy Krueger. I also would love for the show to develop the parent characters and grownups more than they were in the original movies.

It would also be remarkable if they threw the audience off by changing the orders of the kill count from that of the original or introduce new characters. Also, given the incredibly haunting and psychedelic visionary style of True Detective and Hannibal TV would be the perfect medium to make a vaster, more epic and terrifying dream world or build upon the fantasy mythology of “The Dream Warriors” (kids from Elm Street who learn how to use their nightmares to get super powers to beat down Freddy).

All in all, I feel that TV is the perfect medium for some of these movies to have their stories expanded upon. I find modern television to be largely a creative treasure trove for writers and their original ideas, and while I don’t think cinema is dead I do think that TV could help reinvigorate some of these stories. I hope you’ve enjoyed and feel free to comment and as always share the love.

Supernatural TV Series Review

5:08 pm By Lawrence

How does one make a show that stands the test of time? Nay, how does one make a show good enough to stay on the air for over TEN YEARS and still continue to kick ass and take names? Now that truly requires finesse and a killer soundtrack. I am of course referring to Eric Kripke’s pride and joy, Supernatural, a show that I have loved passionately for a decade and oh my how time flies. So, what prey tell is this amazing spectacle of a show about? It starts out being about two estranged brothers who must team up to pick back up “The Family Business” and find their father when he goes missing from a “hunting” trip. What is the family business? Oh just hunting and eliminating “evil sons of b****s and raising a bit of hell”.

Who prey tell are these “evil sons of b****s” as protagonist Dean Winchester so profanely asked? Well, just your garden variety ghosts, demons, vampires, werewolves, shifters, wendigos and all manner of evil paranormal beings looking to crap on someone’s day. This later goes on to include Angels and more who become major players in later seasons. So, why does this show kick so much ass? Firstly, the chemistry between the two leads, Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester and Jared Padelecki as Sam Winchester respectively play off each other exceptionally well. Their chemistry really feels like they’ve known each other for years, like real brothers. It also plays out exceptionally, like a supernatural buddy cop action comedy. The show is also incredibly metamorphic, like a caterpillar into a butterfly, starting out as a horror show, but becomes far more epic in scope.

This happens when it brings an ambitious war between heaven and hell, which the boys are trapped in the middle of, making the show far more amazing and intense. Another massive plus to this show is its exceptional use of side characters, especially Castiel, Crowley, Bobby Singer, Rufus Turner and so many others I won’t even dare spoil here. Finally, this show is exceptionally Meta, knowing full well the tropes and cliches of its genre and itself and expertly satirizing itself, in a way that seems more of a tribute to fan culture then self-cannibalism. I literally could talk about Supernatural all damn day, I love it so damn much, but I’ll spare you my geek out. However, I feel that I’ve more than adequately discussed all of the pros to this show and why it’s must watch genre TV. However, the few cons are that season one on Netflix didn’t get the rights to the show’s epic soundtrack, but instead plays generic rock songs and season one and seven are a bit disjointed. However, like I said besides those two small flaws this show is truly exceptional in all of the best ways possible. So, as always I’m Lawrence Gaines from Lord of The Reels, inventing you to like, comment, and of course share the love.

The Last Starfighter Movie Review

8:55 am By Lawrence

The Last Starfighter was a really……interesting movie. That’s to say that while I really liked this film, I do think it could be improved upon. HOWEVER, I feel that I’m getting ahead of myself.
The Last Starfighter, is a cult classic 1980’s science fiction adventure movie directed by Nick Castle (who originally played Michael Meyers/The Shape in the first Halloween movie as well as writing Escape from New York) and stars Lance Guest (from Halloween 2). The film, is about a simple video game/arcade geek who lives in dullsville USA. However, after scoring a record breaking high score, suddenly he’s whisked away by aliens and must solve an intergalactic war.

One of the main draws to this film, is the contrast of the everyman appeal of Lance Guest juxtaposed with the epic nature and scale of the intergalactic war and many alien races. So many 1980’s films have dabbled heavily in using CGI; HOWEVER, this film is extremely excessive in it to the point of coating it in overwhelming crappy special effects. Nevertheless, like I previously said, the main draw of this film is the loveable characters and epic storyline.

Most film geeks, have frequently undervalued and undermined remakes and reboots. However, I feel that The Last Starfighter would be the ideal classic 1980’s movie to be remade. While the story is epic, yet intimate and timeless, it is also sadly lessened by aforementioned dated special effects. I feel that if a film maker of today with a love of classic science fiction and were supported by someone with that same love (like JJ Abrams or Edgar Wright perhaps?), but with the modern CGI of today. Then it could be the start of an amazing new space opera series (especially thanks to the success of Guardians of The Galaxy).

So at the end of the day, it’s a fun, all be it endearingly cheesy 1980’s classic, well worth a watch, before its inevitable remake/reboot. This has been Lawrence Gaines, from Lord of The Reels, as always inviting you to enjoy and share the love.

If I were a Carpenter: A tribute to John Carpenter Part One: I Remember Halloween

5:07 am By Lawrence

Halloween poster

What can I say about John Carpenter? He’s a captivating master of suspense, innovative musician and brilliant film maker with ideas FAR ahead of his time. In a word he was a marvel.

What made him so great though? Why do I feel that he is one of the greatest and most original,  important and revolutionary film makers of all time? Read on dear reader and let me enlighten you.

Ah the 1970’s what a great time for cinema from edgy character pieces like Taxi Driver, Five Easy Pieces and more to grind house pictures like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Dawn of the Dead and others it was clear that cinema and it’s audience was changing and in 1978 a young film maker from New York would make a film that would slice through the conventions of Hollywood, pop culture and the world would never be the same.

That film was Halloween a movie that wasn’t the first slasher movie but it sure as hell popularized it. John Carpenter came from a generation of film makers nicknamed “The Movie Brats”. They were a bunch of film makers in the 1970’s who worked outside of the studio system members of “The Movie Brats” included directors like Martin Scorsese, Tobe Hooper, Dennis Hopper, Francis Ford Copola and MANY others. This worked to Halloween’s advantage because the 1970’s was a decade that really seemed to want to make a name for it’s self with it’s ballsier film releases and no truer is that prevalent then in Halloween Carpenter’s masterpiece about a young man who killed his sister on Halloween in 1963, fifteen years later he’s back and god help whoever is in his way.

Halloween as I have previously stated is a masterpiece and is essential viewing for anyone at all interested in film making. From it’s captivating performances by Jamie Lee Curtis as Laurie Strode a girl tormented by Michael Meyers, Donald Plesance as Dr. Samuel Loomis Michael Meyers’ therapist and the largely under rated Nick Castle as Michael Meyers/The Shape it’s self.

I feel that Halloween is a masterpiece because of it’s ability to sustain an audience’s attention with it’s brilliant simplicity. If I pitched the movie to you saying “hey do you want to watch a movie about a crazy guy who stalks and kills off babysitters”? You’d probably think that it’s the most generic kind of horror schlock ever even in the 1970’s and “you go to hell for suggesting that Gaines”. But I feel that’s the great thing about Halloween that within that level of simplicity it is a story that has been done to death but I think that Carpenter turns something simple into exceptional because you never get to know who Michael Meyers/The Shape is you don’t even know if they’re human.

That’s what I feel is terrifying it’s like a ghost or demon in human form representing the evil of mankind or the unknown just at the edge of our pleasant seemingly little suburban heaven.  He turns the ordinary and mundane into the mundane and knows EXACTLY how to shoot that and edit that to build the perfect amount of suspense like a concerto of carnage and murder and thrills. Speaking of concertos (SEGWAY AHOY!) another thing that makes this film exceptional is like the film it’s self the score to it especially it’s theme song is simple but terrifyingly powerful I mean you can’t tell me that while it MAY not give you the chills you can associate it with a creepy movie just from the first few chords.

IT’S JUST A PIANO but it’s SO captivating, terrifying and seemingly suffocating with emotion and simplicity simultaneously. However I feel that that’s enough for now. Tune in later this week for part two of this editorial series with aliens, Satan and Kurt Russell oh my!

Mystery Monday: How James Cameron’s The Terminator is his version of Friday the 13th

3:43 am By Lawrence

To start with let me just say I adore the ever loving living s*** out of this movie. Why you may ask? Not ONLY is it a classic and vastly inspirational science fiction, horror film, not only is it paramount viewing for ANYONE wanting to get into practical effects, NOT ONLY does it have an amazing theme song and electronic score by Brad Fidel (who later went on to score another favorite film of mine Fright Night), but, the most important reason to me as to why The Terminator is awesome is, I feel it’s James Cameron’s version of Friday the 13th film.

Now I know that this may be a stretch, BUT HEAR ME OUT, in article…on a….shut down site…MoviePilot.com. I argued that The Coen Brothers movie No Country For Old Men, was their version of Halloween. However, while that may be a stretch to some; I feel that I made a strong argument for my opinion and now here’s another.

I feel that The Terminator, like Jason is an unstoppable killing machine, but unlike Michael Meyers (or what Michael Meyers was supposed to be in the early films) he (like Anton Chigur in No Country For Old Men), is just a human. Where as Jason, on the other hand, evolved from being a human, to a zombie, to a cyborg. That cyborg comparison proves my point, Jason, like The Terminator purely exists to kill. While Michael Meyers represented a certain emptiness, or lack of empathy with man where as Jason, like the Terminator has no link what so ever to his humanity (after his drowning and his mother was killed cemented this completely).

Keep in mind, we’re just talking about the first Terminator here, when “Ahnold”, played the bad ass T800 not that  T850 flowers and sunshine father figure crap from Terminator 2 (as well as the first continuity of Friday the 13th pre Jason Goes to Hell because JASON ISN’T IN IT). HOWEVER, the comparisons don’t end with the main character alone.

Like the best Halloween movies, the setting and characters are more timeless, representing the fact that the evil of Michael Meyers and evil within humanity is eternal. HOWEVER, much like Friday the 13th the movie, The Terminator is EXTREMELY 80’s cementing it’s self within the decade with it’s soundtrack, neon soaked setting and hair and clothes. I hope that this argument makes sense and has valid points and isn’t too opinionated or scattered.

Thank You for reading and enjoy your week.

Slacker Saturday: High Fidelity and Clerks Review

8:28 pm By Lawrence

So it’s time for my first double review or double feature cult movie review or what have you. ANYWHO why did I choose these two specifically for my first double feature review?

Honestly it’s because while not only do I consider these two exceptional comedic drama movies but they’ve also really inspired and influenced me and made me the cinematic buffoon I am today and I consider both of them the bible/autobiography of the 20 something male in terms of what males of the protagonists ages (although John Cusack older then his 20’s) are going through on  a personal level.

Clerks of course centers around two underachieving lazy clerks one at a convenience store and the other at a VHS store. Like Clerks High Fidelity’s characters are underachievers pondering their position in their lives while at the same time seem fairly set in their pop culture ridden world of working at a record store (which as a fellow vinyl collector I can very much relate to).

I think both spoke to me on a very personal and primal level about manhood and coming of age without having some sort of cinematic MacGuffin to get me to do so rather a sense of sort of self propulsion of seeing where I am in life and where I want to be and going from there. I LOVE being lazy and unmotivated I LOVE it but these movies helped me to see my inner potential especially the story behind Clerks of a lazy bastard like myself becoming an exceptional film maker with just a dream and a passion.

However in High Fidelity’s case I also greatly relate to the characters in terms of failures and inability to accept responsibility for my screw ups in relationships that I’ve misguidedly messed up helping me to realize that I I was the one who screwed up. Also on a more aesthetic level I envy the hell out of the writing on both of them and the soundtracks are spectacular so I couldn’t recommend either of them higher.

Freaky Friday Review: Halloween

3:17 pm By Lawrence

Halloween is an impeccably AMAZING film and one of the best movies ever made. I’m not even just speaking as a fan boy but as a movie fan and I think that not only is it an incredible horror film but is also an ESSENTIAL piece of cinema in the history of film.

So why do I make that claim? It’s because this film is not just the progenitor of the slasher movie genre (although not the official first slasher that honor would either go to Psycho or Peeping Tom). It’s also one of the best directed movies of all time as well as being a zero to hero story of  a director who made an independent low budget film which launched an entire sub genre.

So what made this slasher movie so revolutionary? Multiple reasons I feel, firstly it established “the rules” of most horror/slasher films to come including “drugs equal death”, “only the virgin or most conservative (usually female) character survives” and more. John Carpenter also proves his exceptional skill as a director creating perfect tension by transforming the drab normalcy of typical suburbia into a terrifying nightmare neighborhood from hell.

The music and score is also brilliant also by John Carpenter and truly helps to establish an abysmal and intense atmosphere. Finally the characters of Michael Meyers are brilliantly written in their simplicity as they’re both the dark and light halves of their universe and while they’re both technically under developed but seem to work.

So all in all as I’ve said Halloween is not just one of my personal favorite films but also essential modern cinema so I can’t recommend this film high enough.

Theatrical Thursday Review: The Big Lebowski

2:45 pm By Lawrence

The Big Lebowski is in a word a masterpiece. It is one of those films that can perfectly be enjoyed on the same level weather inebriated or sober and features brilliant writing, acting, music and direction. So why was it never even NOMINATED for any Oscar?

That question has always been incredibly perplexing to me that such a brilliant film such as The Big Lebowski never one an Oscar. Could The Academy be so shallow that they wouldn’t nominate a stoner film for ANYTHING? Even if it is one of the best movies of all time? I dunno maybe I’m just tired and cranky but it’s so amazing damn it!

ANYWAYS what’s the movie about? The film stars Jeff Bridges as a lazy under achieving stoner living and bowling in the early 1990’s caught up in a kidnapping case. One of the MANY things I LOVE about The Big Lebowski is it’s a seemingly genreless tribute to so many different genres; it’s a comedy, it’s a western, it’s film noir, it’s a stoner movie, it’s a meditative existential think piece, it’s SO many f***ing AMAZING things!

It also pulls off all of those genres and subgenres PERFECTLY. So why no Oscar? I think like most Coen Brothers movies it’s an important film not just to analyze but rematch in it’s entirety. I feel that The Big Lebowski is an experience and an adventure and to pick it apart piece by piece and scene by scene (as I’ve herd The Academy is known to do) is impossible one must simply “buy the ticket and take the ride” and simply enjoy the adventure.

What an adventure it is as well with so many eternally relevant and exceptionally written quotes that I know by heart and will never forget. That also goes for the movie too I’ll never forget what an incredible experience I have whenever I watch it without it ever getting old. Isn’t that the best thing that you can say about a film or any piece of media?

Whatever Weds The American Season 2 Review

6:11 pm By Lawrence

The-Americans-Season-2-Poster

The Americans is an amazing show with the most morally reprehensible characters next to Game of Thrones. The show is set in the early 1980’s and centers on a family where the parents are actually KGB sleeper agents living next door to a devout American FBI agent investigating Russians in America. The show is incredibly tense with nail biting suspense and multidimensional all be it morally terrible people across the board.

The titular Americans are Elizabeth and Phillip Jennings just your ordinary everyday pleasant neighbors….who as mentioned are secretly bad ass KGB agents working to bring down the American way while slowly but surely getting sucked into it. The show is ASTONISHING as it really shows realistically what people would do for their country and patriotism in the face of betraying their morals for The Americans AND The Russians.

The show also is incredibly tense feeling in my mind as if Hitchcock himself made a perfectly crafted 1980’s spy movie and the cinematography is beautiful and is a perfect throwback to that of an awesome 70’s/80’s movie. Finally the show has an AWESOME 80’s soundtrack which I cannot recommend high enough and that goes for the show too. So if you want top notch Hitchcockian spy action and dubious duplicitous characters there are few shows I can recommend higher.

TV Tuesday Supernatural Season 9 and Finale Review

5:58 pm By Lawrence

Oh Supernatural, what a topsy-turvey show you are. From the highest highs like seasons 2-5 (which I consider the greatest TV arch or all-time) to a ho-hum sixth season, terrible seventh, and not too shabby eighth season. Suffice to say though season nine had a lot to live up to now that the show was back to being almost as good as it was with Kripke as the main guy on it.

So did this season fulfill what it was seemingly promising?  Like much of Supernatural after Kripke it does and doesn’t. While we were promised an epic Angels VS Demons VS humans WAR what we got was interesting but FAR less grandiose and instead, we get ANOTHER addiction story which season four did WAY better and more Sam and Dean whining.

ON THE OTHER HAND, it did really spend time fleshing out the non-Sam and Dean characters like Crowley, Metatron, and Castiel (however as badass as she was I felt Abandon was a bit underdeveloped) and ending an arch that I felt had gone on FAR too long.   So let’s discuss how it all ended shall we?

Without giving away anything I loved the ending plot twist and how they resolved both the heaven subplot as well as the brilliant way that Castiel outthought Metatron. I also loved the conclusion of Dean’s storyline of the season and thought that they PERFECTLY left an amazing cliffhanger.  As it obviously should be given the paramount nature of season finales it’s difficult to discuss it without giving away any spoilers HOWEVER I do highly recommend this finale if you’re sticking with the season you’ll be more than rewarded for a ho-hum season.

Mystery Monday: Blood Simple Review

6:05 pm By Lawrence

Blood simple is an INCREDIBLE movie while it may not be my favorite Coen Brothers film (that honor would belong to either The Big Lebowski or No Country For Old Men) it is however a paramount staple of cinema which goes to show how masterful the Coens are at their craft.  This like most of the best Coen brother films has fascinating multidimensional characters, innovative cinematography, brilliant plot twists, shady vicious villains and more. Blood Simple was released in American theaters January 18th 1985 and is the Coen Brothers’ first film. The thing that I love the most about Blood Simple is there are no clear cut heroes or villains all of the characters have their own sins and vices which is refreshing in this cinematic world of clear cut heroes and villains. It’s hard to discuss this movie without giving anything away because there’s a plethora of amazing twist that come as fast as bullets. However I will discuss what I loved, the writing was impecible, the characters as I’ve mentioned are multidimensional, flawed and fascinating characters. Barry Sonnenfeld’s exceptional cinematography of Texas and inovative and just plain cool camera angles is one (especially one where the camera goes over a drunk passed out guy’s head in a bar) and exceptional acting all round (especially from Frances McDormand and M. Emmet Walsh). So while again this isn’t my favorite Coen Brothers movie it is definitely a film that I couldn’t recommend enough. Enjoy.
